Great travel car seat
We’re recommending this to all our parent friends. This car seat has gone on a handful of trips over the last year — domestic and international. It lightweight and can be strapped on to a stroller for easy transport through the airport. We’ve used it in the plane and in rental cars with no complaints from our little guy.Only real con is that its almost too basic. Car installs is a bit more cumbersome and straps can get caught/stuck after a few uses. It’s easy enough to adjust just not something you usually have to do with more expensive seat, but this is fine for temporary use cases.

Works great
I needed a 2nd car seat but also wanted something we could travel with. This car seat serves both those purposes and honestly is great enough to work as a primary car seat! Itâs comfy, soft, lightweight, and feels safe. My toddler fits well in it. We also have the bigger maxi cosà convertible car seat and that one is great too! But I donât know if my toddler son notices the difference between the 2! This is a great value for the money. Installation is the same for both pretty much. You gotta thread that seatbelt through the hole – a minimal pain. No cup holders but I would definitely recommend this to anyone! who is either looking for a travel car seat or needs a primary car seat and wants to keep it simple without all the bells and whistles.

Travel car seat
It worked well with our travel to Hawaii, but I would say that the bottom clip is very low and not adjustable. So for longer and taller kiddos it could be a bit uncomfortable. My son was 1.5 when we used it and it did the job!But definitely light weight for gate check for any air travel which was a bonus!

Lightweight and comfortable
I purchased this car seat specifically for travel because itâs so lightweight. And it served its purpose so well, very easy to travel with and install. I read a lot of bad reviews and I donât understand how people expect it to be similar/comparable to $500-700 car seats. You get exactly what you pay for. For this price itâs a great quality. Material is good, more cushy and overall better then Cosco brand. Some people say itâs the same product under different names, but itâs not. There was no chemical smell at all. I was able to adjust the harness to our liking for my 1yo, just read the manual. I would not put a newborn baby in this car seat or use it on a daily basis, but it works great for traveling or second car option.

Good for price
We use a Nuna Rava as our main seat but we needed something lightweight for travel.Pros: flame retardant free fabric, light (I can lift it with my pinky), does the job, comfortable.Cons: functions like a cheap car seat (straps are very hard to tighten evenly)Iâm used to high end and convenient features that my Nuna has and letâs just say figuring out how to use this car seat was a humbling experience. Reminded me why I would absolutely pay extra for convenience.I would not use this as an everyday car seat because itâs a pain in the butt to install in car and tighten straps but for travel and the price, itâs great.

Hard Install and Adjustment
Bought this as a travel seat and to ultimately use as an every day seat for my 12mo old and Iâm not happy with a few features. The only positive features are that itâs lightweight and easy to clean.I use a backpack travel bag for car seats to make it easy to check in the airport and to carry around while traveling. When this seat is in a bag, it has two large fins on the back that dig into you when worn. Itâs extremely uncomfortable if youâre wearing it for more than 5 min.The straps that hook into the bench hooks in your car do not tighten easily resulting in a loose fit. I have to use the seatbelt in addition to the bench hooks to really get a snug fit. This defeats the whole purpose of having the bench hooks.When the seat is properly installed and snug, tightening the shoulder straps for baby is not as easy as other seats, there is a lot of resistance to both tighten and loosen.The head rest merely slides into the two slots and always falls off, another poor design. The cup holder doesnât have a firm attachment and is pointless.Would not recommend this seat for travel or everyday use.

Great airplane compliant car seat
This is the lightest weight car seat that we can find for our toddler to bring on the airplane and to bring in the rental car. Itâs very affordable and the lightest car seat out there. Easy to install and carry. Itâs safe and has a 5 point harness. The padding is good and easy to clean. Highly recommend for traveling.
